2. 1. Decision-Making in Automotive Collision Avoidance Systems

   Author : Mattias Brännström; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; decision-making; collision avoidance; active safety; threat assessment; driver modeling;

   Abstract : This thesis is concerned with decision-making in systems that can detect hazardous traffic situations and assist drivers in avoiding collisions by using automatic braking or steering. The aim with these systems is to reduce the number of accidents and their consequences without disturbing the driver with unnecessary interventions during normal traffic conditions. READ MORE

4. 2. Physically based fibre kinking model for crash of composites

   Author : Sergio Costa; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; kinking; Crushing; FEA; damage mechanics; friction;

   Abstract : Passenger cars are a major emitter of global warming gases which has led to tighter regulations being imposed on car manufacturers. An efficient way to reduce emissions is to reduce the weight of the cars. READ MORE

5. 3. Methods for Analysis of Naturalistic Driving Data in Driver Behavior Research

   Author : Jonas Bärgman; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; safety benefit evaluation; crash causation; safety measures; automated driving; analysis; naturalistic driving data; driver behavior; counterfactual simulations;

   Abstract : In the last several years, the focus of traffic safety research—especially when performed in association with the automotive industry—has shifted from preventing injury during a crash to avoiding the crash altogether or mitigating its effects. Pre-crash safety measures include intelligent safety systems (e.g. READ MORE

6. 4. Methods for efficient modelling of progressive failure in laminated fibre-reinforced composites

   Author : Johannes Främby; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Composites; Progressive failure; Crash simulation; Adaptive modelling;

   Abstract : To meet increasing demands on reduced CO2 emissions, the automotive industry is currently very active in research to reduce vehicle weight by incorporating laminated composites (primarily carbon fibre-reinforced polymers) into structural components. Historically, composite materials have mainly been used in the aerospace industry, whereby CAE-based design and development tools for composite structures have been developed primarily to the specific needs and requirements in this industry.

7. 5. On efficient modelling of progressive damage in composite laminates using an equivalent single-layer approach

   Author : Johannes Främby; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; crash simulation; CFRP; adaptive delamination modelling; XFEM;

   Abstract : In order to reduce the weight and subsequently the fuel consumption of their vehicles, the automotive industry is currently very active in research to incorporate laminated composites of Carbon Fibre Reinforced Plastics (CFRP) into structural components. This effort is a reaction to the increasing demands from regulatory bodies aimed at reducing the CO2 emissions from the transportation sector. READ MORE
